So what I think that social media actually made such a big difference in everyone lives because it probably for somebody it made it their life kind of easier way because some people can be maybe an introvert so it’s hard for them to communicate in real life but they can use social media just to be tax-sitting to be talking to another people and it’s probably the easier for them. But what I do actually prefer communicating in real life like face to face because it’s better to understand another person to see their emotions doing some conversations so you will know what topics are bad or like good for them. So yes, for me it is way better to be talking in real life. But if we talk about the way people form and about their relationships, it’s probably made it way more difficult because there’s so much things like social media kills romance that it’s like when you see something in the social media you see how it all like super ideal but it’s not what it is in real life so some people like can’t understand that because of it.

So I think that social media has made a big difference in everyone's lives. For some people, it has made life easier because they may be introverts, and it's hard for them to communicate in real life. They can use social media to text or talk to other people, which is probably easier for them. However, I actually prefer communicating in real life, face to face, because it's better to understand another person and see their emotions during conversations. This way, you will know what topics are good or bad for them. So yes, for me, it is much better to talk in real life. But if we talk about how people form and maintain their relationships, it has probably made it more difficult. There are so many things, like social media killing romance. When you see something on social media, it often looks super ideal, but that's not what it is in real life. Some people can't understand that because of it.
